Personally im feel the staffs only will be more friendly to those foreign visitors, but not to the local one. Because from the way they treat me, a local visitors to thier guesthouse, so please take note about it if you really wanna be a good place for all.

Clean and comfortable hostel. Bar at the seaside is the best place on Batu Ferringhi. Parking may be a problem especially on weekend.

Beautiful location, ideal for beach, beach bistros and Ferringhi night market. Lovely green courtyard, extremely clean rooms and Jeff at the desk is ever smiling and helpful! The only downside is the closeness to the mosque's loudspeakers but that comes with the territory!

Ali Feringgi was the best place for me & my wife to rest and relax. The environment was so cool and fantastic since the last time we went in year 2005. We feel like we are home, the room is comfortable and value for money. We really had a very good time and memory at Ali Feringgi and we shall come back again in a very soon time.
